Description:Off-road ride around local tracks, usually about 15 miles. Knobbly tyres and good lights required. We are keen to welcome new riders and have spare lights available to borrow if you let me know.Dark, cold and wet - we'll ride in any 2. But please let me know if you are coming so I can tell you if I decide to cancel due to really bad weather. |

Report:I was the only one again tonight. Everyone seemed to have valid reasons why they couldn't make it, but even if it was due to the weather then that would be a very valid reason!The rain was not too bad, but the wind was strong and gusting, with the first 5 miles, including the climb, into the headwind. The rain made things interesting, but there was not enough of it to wash the claggy mud from the bike. Coming out of the Bridge of Doom with a bike laden with mud, up a muddy slope, and into a head wind was just a little too much for me, causing me to get off and push! Overall, a very enjoyable ride, even if it was hard work for much of it. If you've never tried riding in mud, glorious mud, I'd be happy to show you the way | ||
Distance:22.53 km (14.00 mi) | ||
